Nonindustrial Disability Insurance (NDI)

The CSU funds a partial wage continuation program, Nonindustrial Disability Insurance (NDI), in lieu of State Disability Insurance (SDI) for eligible employees that have suffered loss of wages due to a disability or injury that is non-work related.  Both plans are administered by the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD). 

Eligible employees may receive benefit payments up to 26 weeks (182 calendar days) for any one disability period upon exhausting sick leave hours and meeting the 7-day waiting period.  The benefit payments may not exceed the specified weekly amount as defined by employee category. NDI benefits may not exceed six (6) months for any one incident.

The NDI program defines "disability" as: "mental or physical illness and mental or physical injury, including any illness or injury resulting from pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition". An employee is deemed disabled on any day in which, because of a physical, mental or medical condition, he/she is unable to perform his/her regular or customary work. An attending physician must verify the disability.

NDI applications are processed through EDD.  Upon receipt of the completed claim application, the EDD office will determine eligibility.  This process may take up to 14 days, it is important to note that processing time may vary depending on the claim.  If the claim is incomplete or requires additional information, confirming eligibility can be delayed.  The eligibility determination notice will be mailed to the employee and the to the campus directly from the EDD office.  

NDI is a paper-based application and is not to be confused with SDI which is an electronic application process.  To initiate an NDI application, coordination with the Office of Human Resources is required.
